winter tires

i got a set of Bridgesone Blizzark WS-50 winter tires from my G35. they still have alot of thread left, so just wondering if the 335i can fit 215/55/17 tires

they seem to be a little on the thick side compare to the standard 17" tires that come on 3 series.

anyone know? (i know they will look ugly, but its just for winter!)

Use the tire size calculator at the top of the page and make sure that the rims are the appropriate width given the tire size.

That doesn't sound like it would fit. It's not a standard fitment...try using the calculator at the top of the page.

215/55R17 is a bit too tall.

Stick with 205/50R17 or 225/45R17
